Greenpeace rebukes "sinful alliance" between Venezuela and the US in Rio+20

Environmental organization Greenpeace on Friday held the "sinful alliance" between Venezuela and the United States responsible for the failure of the efforts made during the Rio+20 summit to set the Oceans Rescue Plan for the High Seas in motion and launch negotiations leading to an international treaty.

"The plan... was thwarted by a sinful alliance between the United States and Venezuela in conjunction with Russia and Canada," affirmed executive director of Greenpeace Kumi Naidoo, according to DPA.
